Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: VERY GOOD (cg) " 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' was charged with drama. 'Revenge' is somewhat anticlimactically charged with a wall plug." (Read the full review...) 540 words, 11/09/11
Daniel Gold, New York Times: VERY GOOD "...that rare artifact, a snapshot of a major industrial shift on its way to a tipping point.... a slick, enjoyable valentine to a retooling industry." (Read the full review...) 348 words, 10/21/11 Mindy Farabee, Los Angeles Times: VERY GOOD "...well shot and sharply paced... so friendly to the corporate types its predecessor targeted that Nissan is sponsoring screenings." (Read the full review...) 258 words, 10/21/11 Kyle Smith, New York Post: POOR (cg) "...saying electric cars are 'zero emission' is about as truthful as saying you don't have to kill a cow when you buy a hamburger. Electric cars simply outsource the emissions to your coal-burning power plant." (Read the full review...) 284 words, 10/21/11 John Anderson, New York Newsday: VERY GOOD (cg) "Stylish, engaging and hopeful take on the resurgence of battery-run vehicles and the future of personal transportation." (Read the full review...) 332 words, 10/21/11 Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: VERY GOOD (cg) " 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' was charged with drama. 'Revenge' is somewhat anticlimactically charged with a wall plug." (Read the full review...) 540 words, 11/09/11 Michelle Orange, Village Voice/LA Weekly: EXCELLENT "...a balm for beaten-down times. In lieu of a business case for ethics, it tells the story of that rare moment when the bottom line finally dovetails with the greater good." (Read the full review...) 199 words, 10/19/11 Greg Quill, Toronto Star: MODERATE (cg) "...doesn't even disclose the mileage range of these vehicles, or their performance and handling parameters, except in the broadest, most general terms." (Read the full review...) 736 words, 10/14/11 Jennie Punter, Toronto Globe & Mail: VERY GOOD (cg) "...powered by human drama and by three very different charismatic auto-industry leaders in the risky, multibillion-dollar process of resurrecting the battery-powered consumer car." (Read the full review...) 600 words, 10/14/11 Norman Wilner, Toronto Now: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a more linear and coherent work than its predecessor, 'Who Killed the Electric Car?, but it lacks the passion and fury that made that film seem so urgent." (Read the full review...) 233 words, 10/13/11
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...makes for a powerful visual metaphor for those who resist the tide of history." (Read the full review...) 614 words, 11/25/11 Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: MODERATE (cg) "Nicely shot, with some lively talking-head action from Wall Street Journal reporter Dan Neil... nonetheless feels more like a postscript than a probing, provocative doc." (Read the full review...) 252 words, 11/18/11 Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: VERY GOOD (cg) "...if you thought you'd never mist up at a nonfiction movie about plug-in autos, you're in for a surprise. This is a surprisingly emotional trip, and a very enjoyable one." (Read the full review...) 197 words, 11/11/11 Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: WEAK (cg) "Smug narration by Tim Robbins doesn't help, as the actor is forced to deliver such portentous statements as 'sometimes success is the best reward' like a second-string James Earl Jones." (Read the full review...) 261 words, 11/04/11 Ty Burr, Boston Globe: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a lesser animal, more hopeful but also more complex and lacking the focused urgency of 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' " (Read the full review...) 636 words, 11/04/11 Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: VERY GOOD (cg) "The movie is interesting now and, given its subject, should even be more interesting in about a hundred years. Stick around." (Read the full review...) 315 words, 11/04/11 Stan Hall, Portland Oregonian: GOOD (cg) "...has nowhere near the same level of drama as 'Who Killed the Electric Car,' but it is similarly well made and enlightening..." (Read the full review...) 168 words, 11/04/11 Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: VERY GOOD (cg) "...lacks the urgency of 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' But Paine's thorough knowledge of his subject, and engaging way with an interview, make the follow-up film a fun ride." (Read the full review...) 327 words, 11/23/11 Tom Long, Detroit News: MODERATE (cg) "...as much a promotional stunt as it is a documentary. Not that there's anything terribly wrong with cheerleading for electric cars. But those looking to find either revelations or insights had best look elsewhere."

(Read the full review...) 199 words, 10/19/11 Monica Castillo, Boston Phoenix: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "In the end, 'Revenge' is sweet, and Chris Paine's outlook is positive, with a prospect of clean air and even an end of oil dependency." (Read the full review...) 156 words, 11/03/11 Chuck Bowen, Slant: VERY GOOD (cg) "The film understands, hauntingly, that reform must compliment, not contradict, the ingrained need of the world's superpowers to make as much money as humanly possible." (Read the full review...) 834 words, 10/18/11 Norman Wilner, Toronto Now: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a more linear and coherent work than its predecessor, 'Who Killed the Electric Car?, but it lacks the passion and fury that made that film seem so urgent."

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: VERY GOOD "...acknowledges the difficulty of creating new technologies and transforming entrenched habits..."

(Read the full review...) 258 words, 10/21/11 Andrew O'Hehir, Salon: VERY GOOD "Never let it be said that activist documentaries don't make a difference, even if the difference they make is never predictable.... fascinating and highly entertaining..." (Read the full review...) 720 words, 10/21/11
Ronnie Scheib, Daily Variety: FAIR "...a disappointment.... without true tension, the docu feels as slickly manufactured as its va-va-voom subject." (Read the full review...) 466 words, 04/29/11 Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: VERY GOOD "...fascinating... provides a surprisingly upbeat prognosis on the transition to electric vehicles."
